With a dark, heavy lineup brooding on the horizon and a regular attendance of die-hard devotees, M'era Luna Festival serves up enough metal and industrial/electro to make it one of the biggest gothic music festivals in Europe.

Every year more than 25,000 gather at a former British military base in Lower Saxony for everything from nu-rock and ambient metal to the kind of digital darkness that Nine Inch Nails would be proud of.

M'era Luna's lineup always reflects the very best of Germany's own goth-metal scene, with this year's sprinkling of stardust coming from superstar Rob Zombie.
